Vendor-Unique Enclosure Data

There is a significant amount of code (several thousand lines) in SMARTMonUX to deal with reporting vendor-unique data from a variety of SES-compliant enclosure manufacturers. Furthermore, as enclosure manufacturers typically sell into the OEM and reseller marketplace, having access to this information can provide you valuable information which might not be available through tools offered by your subsystem supplier.

Below is a list of information on enclosure manufacturers and some of the vendor-unique information that we report. If your manufacturer is not listed, it is still quite probable that a significant amount of hidden, vendor-unique data will still be reported ... information that is NOT available via programs supplied by your storage vendor. That is because the vast majority of storage vendors do not make their own enclosures, rather they select off-the-shelf or customized SES-compliant enclosures from one of a small family of enclosure manufacturers and brand it as their own. Because of non-disclosure constraints, we cannot reveal all of the products we provide additional information on, but we can provide the following information:
